Would you please post the link for your radar plot from www.tvfool.com If the cables are 18 year old that may be a problem also. Do you remember what brand and model of antenna you are using?

No, but do you have room for a large yagi and a 8 bay antenna on your roof? One antenna can do both jobs.

Looks like Decades will move to KZDN 26.4 in Denver, which will mean I won't get it.

Have you ever tried the system without the distribution amp? Your TV fool indicates plenty of signal on channel 12. I know there are lots of other factors, but a noisy distribution amp could be a problem. Have you tried running to one TV to establish a base line before any splits or...

Based on that, I'd get a Winegard HD7698P and point it southeast. https://www.amazon.com/Winegard-HD7698P-Platinum-Ultra-HD-High-VHF/dp/B001DFTGRY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1536074129&sr=8-3&keywords=HD7698P+Platinum+HD+Series+Antenna

You only have three receivable stations WOWK (CBS, Escape, Laff, Grit), WOVB (6 PBS channels) and WVAH (FOX, Stadium, Comet). Picking up both WOVB and WVAH will be a challenge, but is doable. I'm going to disagree with Jim and say you need two high gain UHF yagi antennas...

Let me know what happens. The main problem with double amplification is you are amplifying noise. The first amp produces noise and the second amp amplifies it. The noise degrades your signal quality, which is the main thing with digital reception. A weak clean signal is better than a noisy...

Unfortunately we haven't been as active as we were in the past. Interest in DTV has seemed to have waned. For the moderators here also. ;) If you look at the TVfool website they give a equation for figuring how much gain you need for your system. 1 dB for every 18-20 feet of cable plus 3.5...

Were you running both the preamp and the distribution amp? That would explain why the signal was being overdriven. I'd consider replacing the distribution amp with a preamp, which would help preserve the signal received by the antenna before any cable losses. You're losing 2 to 3 dB of signal...

Are they dropping DECADES for START, or adding a .3 channel? Dave, where did you find that information. I know that CBS has resisted sub-channels, but why would they drop a channel that uses so much of their own material?

Interesting. They do keep popping up!

TWC, or actually Charter at this point, is going to do whatever they feel like until enough people drop their service. They may not feel that it is cost effective to offer a lower speed service. After all, they have spent millions of dollars to upgrade their service. On the other hand most...

One thing you can try is setting the channel the router broadcasts on to something other than the default. Most routers default to the middle channel which I believe is 6. If your neighbors network runs on the same channel, the networks will interfere with each other. I run my router on...
